They can do everything themselves, without help at all. They can set different standards and run their own [[content wiki]] etc., but of course governments and corporations cannot interfere with them doing so either. At this point we would rely entirely on [[Consumerium License]] and there would be no active intervention or control or governance that worked at all. In some ways this is the state that [[free software]] is already in, but, of course, free software can't pay for its own hardware and data integrity and deployment, and that's one of the things that [[Consumerium Services]] should be able to do - become [[self-funding]] even in countries which are quite poor. | ||
It is a long term goal and probably can't happen until there is [[healthy signal infrastructure]] with many people protecting it and paying for it in many countries, and some history of using it as a [[healthy buying infrastructure]] so that people won't settle for cheap substitutions. Going distributed too soon is a risk, and leads to some [[worst cases]] and indeed some of the [[threats]] that are probably not possible as long as [[Central Services]] and the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] exist. | It is a long term goal and probably can't happen until there is [[healthy signal infrastructure]] with many people protecting it and paying for it in many countries, and some history of using it as a [[healthy buying infrastructure]] so that people won't settle for cheap substitutions. Going distributed too soon is a risk, and leads to some [[worst cases]] and indeed some of the [[threats]] that are probably not possible as long as [[Central Services]] and the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] exist. | ||
One way to reduce the risk is to encourage use of a [[faction license]] scheme that establishes constructive contract relations between all participants no matter how their [[institutional buying criteria|joint values]] might vary. | |||
